Photonics Components and Systems

Nanophotonics and photonic integrated circuits

  • in Silicon-on-Insulator and III-V semiconductors
  • for telecom, datacom, biosensing, environmental sensing, biomedical life-sciences, imaging, process control and monitoring; automitve, energy, etc. 
  • using grating fiber couplers, integrated detectors, integrated thin-film lasers, tunable interferrometers, low-loss nanophotonic waveguides, NEMs, mux/demux, etc.
  • realising on-chip or inter-chip optical interconnects, all-optical signal processing, photonic reservoir computing, miniaturised photo-spectrometry, integrated OCT, label-free biosensors, multiphysics sensors, etc.

Integration of CMOS electronics and photonics

Flexible waveguides, flexible optical interconnects

  • Flexible high-speed optical interconnections, for datacom applications.
  • Flexible substrate integrated optical sensors to be applied to irregular surfaces or to be folded into compact modules.
  • Stretchable optical links for optical tactile sensors.
